Fair enough.
But don’t be surprised if, by doing so, more Democrats are elected effectively defeating your purpose of electing more Conservatives.
The democrats know the right is split and are actively taking advantage of it. The Tea Party has created litmus tests for support. Problem is, everyone has a different litmus test. Palin conservatives don’t agree with Huckabee conservatives who don’t agree with Santorum conservatives.
You beginning to see the problem? For want of the “ideal” the opponent wins.
Just don’t ignore who your real opponent is
Conservatives win elections. Liberal republicans lose elections.
The 'lesser evil' days are over. If the GOP-E realizes that, they may survive.
I don't care if they survive or not. I'm a conservative, not a republican.

The GOP-E can't even run candidates that match their own party platform. Get back to me when they can do that.

We are trying to build a movement, here.
We are trying to undo a century of Progressive drift.
The way you do that is nominate the best Conservative you can find. Run him in the general, and win the races you can.
That way we frame the debate as Progressive vs. Conservative, instead of Progressive vs. Slightly Less Progressive. We cannot win converts to the cause if we never promote our own position.
If we can’t win converts, then we lose. But if that is the case, we lose anyway. If we are to lose the ideological battle and decend into another century of Progressive drift toward full-blown Socialism, I don’t really care if the folks in Washington have a (D) or an (R) behind their names.
